Does any one have completely Smoked Tail lights cause i dont like the 02-03 it looks like eurotails...

 

Just tint them yourself.

 

I think he was askin to see if anyone has pictures of them....

 

oh come on, what's wrong with the 02-03 tailights

 

He did some nice tinting of his tail lights:

You could also just buy 2000-2001 SE tails and tint em even more.... they are a straight swap if you get em with all the harnesses.

 

Nothing, but I do think that they only look good with lighter colors, like yours, and the darker colors look good with either tinted tails or the 00-01 SE tails...

Like so:

Mine (01 SE tails)



Deckdout2 (DIY tinted tails)

 

aww, i feel the love. thanks puppet!

 

There Ok but they Kinda look like Euro tails.. Thats one reason the OLd IS300 is ugly.

 

I think im gonna smoke out the whole tail like in the Pic above but im doing a White,
(cars white) black theme... I'll show some pics when im Done....

 

Do you just spray them right over on the tailights? Or do you open them up and spray them. I have the tint spray, and I want to do this mod, but I dont want my car to look stupid....

 

The all red ones I think look good also. That what I am looking for. If anyone wants to do a straight swap with me and lives in the Chicagoland area. Let me know. I'll swap my SE lights for the GXE ones that are all red.

 

Go to the link I posted.... I believe all ya have to do is spray several coats on the outside....

 

the old is300 started the whole trend.

 

Yea i just did it today it doesnt look bad umm i would use a hairdryer..
spray one coat... then use hair dryer.... then do it over untill u like the finish....

 

Got pics

 

Holy crap... are you sure that was tint and not black paint? I sure hope the cops are forgiving by where you live....

The pics are blurry, but it looks like a clean job from what I can tel...

 

whats wrong with euro tails LOL

 

LOL yea i looks pitch black but its really transluscent ,,, i'll post pics at night time.... can i get pulled over during the daytime for it being to black????
Damnn now i need limo tint to match it

 

Damn that looks good

 

Should i doo my spoiler light??????

 

Holy black tails Batman!

 

yea posting nite pics today

 

How did you black out your headlights? Please tell me.LOL.

 

this can be dangerous make sure you heat well
1) You remove headlights
2)there are like 3 tiny screw on the back of headlight remove them all.
(you can leave the HID ballast alone)
3) Use hairdyer start heating all around the sides when its hot enough heat one side only and try to pry it open while heating (two people required)
4) do that untill the whole cover come of.
5) tape up light assembly and paint.. i used glossy finish.

 

got the pic with lights

 

I like the taillights. Great job!!

 

here's a good thing to remember while scoping out cops. i was a little worried myself when i first did mine. regardless of what time of day it is, always run your parking lights when you drive. by the looks of your pics with the lights on, it shines through well enough for them to not bother you. i've had them right up on me in broad daylight, and (knock on wood) have yet to have any issues. try that and you should be ok.

btw, very nice on the tails....i think that dark would probably look good on my black. let me ponder a little......

 

trade the 00-01 SE lights for yours.....good luck finding them.. remember you will the wire harness...

 

Will LED bulbs make it brighter..... i was thinking bout doing that even b4 i smoked it

 

I've never tried leds, but i think with the effect it puts out it will probably look good. give it a try, you're only out a few bucks. www.autolumination.com

 

the LED'S is a bad idea for the smoked tail lights, honestly they arent that bright, i have them and my friends syay they really cant see my break lights in the day light AND THATS WITH THESE CLEAR LENSES
